AbiWord Build Instructions AbiWordis a C application
which has a cross platform
architecture consisting of a
large platform independent
core and a number of front
ends which use the native GUI
of each of the platforms it
supports As a consequence of
there are a number of
different build systems used
by AbiWord and a large number
of build options This document
gives an introductory guide to
building AbiWord and attempts to cover these various build options the build changes
